[Text:{LOC22}] N. it’ss not.

[Text:{LOC22}] i hav to get home. I’l be finee.

Mia cursed her shaking fingers, making a mental note to just tell her cellphone what to type next time using her technopathy. Erik didn’t like her using it for trivial things, but frankly at the moment Mia didn’t know what to think about Erik.

[Text: Olive] Um.. Mia?

[Text:{LOC22}] Yes, Olive?

[Text From: Olive] Mia? Someone was asking about you at work yesterday. They told me it was really important that they spoke to you. [Text] I didn't want to give them your number, so I got them off my back about it, but it worried me enough that I wanted to tell you. His name's Ellis MacMurray. He said ya'll have only met once.

[Call From {Echnida}]

"We should send in someone better. Phaedrus Jasper, he’d be good at this. He could alter her perception completely.

"I know it’s a risk, but- but should we take further measures to make this work?

"It is a bit too much of a risk, isn't it… Well...

"I've thought about breaking into her apartment. Ouroboros could get into the computer, extract files that we wouldn't be able to obtain otherwise. It’d be easy."

"I’ll do that tonight. ‘Nurse McOwens’ has this Friday off. It’s perfect.

"Oh, Echnida? Yes, ah, I think the Intel has finally downloaded onto the Network. Yes, that one. Ouroboros told me about it the other day, she was concerned there was corruption.

"Once the files are downloaded completely, she’ll tell me. I’m sure she’ll be surprised. Her parents, they never said anything about it to her, did they?

"It’s a big step to take. I know everyone we have can pull it off, but…

"I’ve been waiting for eight years, I know you've been waiting longer, ma'am. We'll work diligently until we've had our success- we all will.

"I’ll tell you what has come through soon."

"You're asking me to do something very risky, Echnida...

"I understand, but if someone comes in? It's not going to be normal family coming in, it's going to be--

"...Yes, ma'am, of course."

Caduceus finished the call, walking into the hospital building to head up to Olivia's floor. It was late; the night shift was in, and Caduceus was one of the few nurses on hand. She smiled at the nurse at their station as she passed before heading down Olivia's hall. The woman knocked on her's door, peaking inside. No one was with her, not right now; her brother wouldn't be here until after work, and his shifts seemed to end late.

Caduceus walked over to Olivia's bed, sitting in a chair next to her, scooting it closer. She took Olivia's hand carefully in her own, holding it tight as she closed her eyes. It was like a torrent of emotions, all fizzled and twisted by the ongoing coma. It wouldn't be easy to find out just how Olivia ticked, but that wasn't what Caduceus was going for.

No, Caduceus wanted to instill some moral into Olivia, things that would stay deep in Olivia's mind when she woke up again. To take apart and rebuild, really. The taken apart notion was already done for her; Olivia was here, unable to defend herself in her current condition.

All she needed was a memory, and Caduceus searched Olivia's head for something that would work just right for this. Something SHIELD related, a trigger of sorts. Olivia needed to remember one thing, and one thing only--

SHIELD was what she feared. They were the ones that would end her, if she wasn't careful. And all of the mess she made once she recovered, whether it be doubling for FALCON or for ATROPOS, was justified.

You're going to bend for our purposes, Olivia, Caduceus thought as she worked her way around the haze of the coma, trying to find a soft spot in the girl's mind.

[Meme] Olive has died.

Micah didn't always see things before they happened. Sometimes series of events surprised him, just as they did to everyone else. When news of Olive's passing came over the wire, Micah was stunned. 

Why didn't he see anything? She may not have been one of his closest of friends but he had visions of people that meant even less to him. If he had known, maybe, just maybe, she could have been helped. 

He closed his eyes and drew in a deep slow breath. The guilt and pain of loss burned dully in his chest. It was an almost familiar feeling, but that didn't make it any easier to bear. How many people was he going to lose?
